Re: Giorgio Armani Aqua de Gio vs Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

I think you're right on this. It was just weird to read an AdG vs TV thread on basenotes where almost every single reply was for AdG. I thought I fell into the Twilight Zone.

By the way, I like AdG, it was my first real fragrance and I wore it in college, so I have some nostalgia attached to it. Also, I received an insane amount of compliments when I wore it.

Good for you, at least that was back then......these days AdG's are everywhere. Even the manufacturers of the fake ones have acquired the exact formula and ingredients to produce exactly the same fragrance. wow

Re: Giorgio Armani Aqua de Gio vs Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille

Neither one is "better." They're totally different scents. They're kind of like a great steak versus a chocolate soufflé. Which is better? It depends on what you want. For dinner, I'd choose the steak. For late at night with a date and a glass of port? Obviously it's the chocolate soufflé.

You have to smell both and decide which suits you and which is something you'd wear enough to make it worth the purchase. Tobacco Vanille costs MUCH more than AdG and it's far less versatile. I wouldn't wear it on a summer day. Probably not even on a warm spring day. Then again, it's more of a wow scent at night. Tobacco Vanille might be too sweet for you.

AdG isn't a scent that will surprise you with a WOW, but it's a can't go wrong choice women are most likely to enjoy on a man. Whenever you're shopping for frags, pay attention to where AdG is. Watch how women react when they pick that stuff up.

If you are only interested in female compliments then there is absolutely no reason to spend $200+ on a bottle of fragrance. One of my most complimented fragrances in Curve and it costs $30 at Walgreens. If female attention is really all you care about then just buy the AdG. I will never understand posts like this. These fragrances are nothing alike.
